Wood Carvings
Ebony
Ebony is an exceptionally hard and
beautiful wood found only in the Sahara desert regions of Africa. Its
exceptional density makes it not only very heavy, but also gives it an
incomparable sheen when polished. West Africa is home to many master carvers of
ebony.
They use simple hand tools to produce these incredible works of
art. The carvings often come as a beautiful mixture of black and brown; as well
as the pure black wood that is most well known. Each has its own special
beauty. Like any wood, ebony is subject to drying and cracking: especially in
dry climates.
Your wood pieces should be cared for with occasional
polishing with shoe polish or other moisturizing agents.
Jewellery
Much of African culture places great emphasis
on appearance and therefore on jewelry. African jewelry has been given
tremendous attention for centuries. Own a useful and beautiful part of African
culture now. Many pieces of African jewelry contain cowry shells. They are not
only beautiful but also symbolic!
